Circles enables a cloud-native, software-defined approach. We spoke to Bart Weijermars from Circles and Toshiro Akiyama from Circles customer KDDI. They explained the operational benefits a digital-first model provides over traditional telco infrastructure. Toshiro also told us how Circles helps KDDI to launch faster and iterate for improvement, and how using a cloud infrastructure helps the company to scale internationally.

Featuring:

  • Bart Weijermars, Chief Customer Success Officer, Circles
  • Toshiro Akiyama, CEO, KDDI Digital Life
